Dont buy any wave/bada phone. Most of us, who have a wave, had bought it some 6-8 months back or more. At that time, thr were no intermediate range androids available at that pricetag. Only lower ends with 240x320 screens. And agn, most of us, already had used symbian, so we were trying sth new.
Story is diff today. Wave3 is pricey. And u can get a lot of androids at the same price or lower. Dont opt for bada. It has no third party apps coming in dozens. No new graphic heavy game (only few 1y old iOS titles). And sammy is only worried abt enticing new users n f****ng old bada users. They themselved showed an image of bada roadmap earlier this yr. It showed wave2 getting 2.0 in july. Then they said q4. Ask the bada users anywhr, they all curse wave. As far as gsma goes, how trustworthy it is, wave having 2nd highest point amongst mobiles, says it all. Look for the bada forums on web. U wud get true sentiments.
